The Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri
Valley limo has completed its road to
Hastings, Nebraska, md begun running
regular trains from Fremont.
The gang Of tracklayers that just
finished the Hastings branch has been
sent to the Wyoming line, and will iron
the road to Glenrock in order to work
the Deer Creek coal mines. The force
will be supplemented BY the gang now
working on this extension, as soon as it
| is completed.
Engineers are in the field locating a
line around the Hills northwest of Stur-
gis. Another contract may be let on
this branch yet this fall, as it is the de-
